Bugzilla – Bug 1530
SoftSqueeze gets disconnected often through high latency network connection
Last modified: 2008-12-15 13:06:38 UTC
Customer reported: Slim server 6.02 Soft Squeeze 2.0b8 I have a question regarding the ability of the Slim Server to work on networks that have a large RTT, I use a Satellite network and the RTT can vary from 700 milliseconds to 1.4 Seconds. The slim server appears to stop send packets and then restart, is there a way I can alter the setting to compensate for the Large RTT. ---------------------- Yes I am, the Audio will play for about 1 second and drop out for about 4 or 5 seconds before playing again. When I connect them directly together they work fine. I originally thought the Slim server sent a Mcast stream to SoftSqueeze, but i do see return packets after every 3 or 4 packets sent by the server, also the packets appear to be unicast. I think the problem is with the Slimserver expecting return packets at frequent intervals and with out these packets the slim server stops transmitting, I was wondering if Slim server has any setting where I can increase a window size of unacknowledged packets. Or prevent Slim server from terminating transmission. ----------------------------- need a bigger tcp window in SoftSqueeze, possibly?
Marking items that aren't going to be addressed immediately in 6.1 as future. Please update if this is in error or the bug has already been addressed.
I have added an option in Softsqueeze 2.2 that allows the tcp window size to be set.
